WisdomTree 数字资产本杰明·迪恩 (Benjamin Dean) 表示，我们需要开始将区块链视为金融创新的基础设施，而不是专注于比特币和以太坊等少数数字资产的价格。
在许多加密货币的价格强劲上涨之际，最近的一项重大发展却被低估了。 “现实世界资产”的代币化也在蓬勃发展。
为了了解这一发展意味着什么，以及将这些资产代币化的潜在好处，我们需要重新构建我们对数字资产生态系统的看法。
我们经常会问这样的问题：“以太坊的价格是多少？”、“数字资产与其他资产类别的相关性如何？”、“我应该在多元化投资组合中对该资产类别进行什么配置？”。 虽然此类问题很有趣，但它们都与数字资产本身作为一种资产类别有关。
另一个视角是将各种网络（例如比特币、以太坊或 Solana 网络）视为数字基础设施。 与 TCP/IP 或 POP3/SMTP 是用于构建和商业化服务的协议类似，数字资产网络是可以部署和提供金融服务（和其他服务）的基础层。
资产代币化就是这样的例子之一。 为了快速定义这个术语，资产代币化意味着使用分布式网络和构成这些网络组件的数据库来注册各方之间的交互。
近年来最明显的例子是稳定币的出现，其中大部分是代币化的美元。 构建这些稳定币的方法有很多。 一种流行的模式是接受美元存款，通常投资于美国国债，然后针对这些资产发行美元代币(例如USDC、USDT)。这些代币的未偿供应量目前约为1500亿美元，而五年前几乎为零。

这种产品与市场的契合现在已经建立起来了，现在的问题是：如果可以发行美元代币，为什么不能在链上发行其他货币或资产?这是代币化趋势寻求提供的核心。
另一个例子是美国国债。 目前美国代币化资产规模约为 7.5 亿美元。 美国国债从两年前几乎为零的基础上有所上涨。 这些代币化的国库券比传统稳定币有一个优势：它们产生并提供收益。 更一般地说，代币化资产提供了 24/7 交易、更快的结算时间 (T+0) 和更高的可访问性的潜力，因为任何拥有手机的人都可以使用它们。
这些例子和其他例子，包括代币化黄金，展示了如何将数字资产网络用作分发金融服务的底层数字基础设施。 从这个角度来看，我们可以考虑通过数字资产基础设施提供哪些其他增值服务，而不是通过其原生加密货币的价格来衡量这些网络的成功。“使用这项技术的理想结果是为所有人创建一个更快、更便宜、更透明和更容易获得的金融体系。”
